Awf'ully Rude.

A peculiar case of boOriShness is re-
ported as occurring in the Leland Opera
house recently at the performance of
'Erminie," says the Albany Journal. A
young gentleman who had invited a
young lady to attend the opera with him
was unable to get consecutive seats.
Nos. % and "a on a certain row were the
best he could get. No. % was already
taken. He bought the seats, however,
and explained the situation to the
young lady. "Oh, it won't mat
ter" she said, ''dOubtless the per-
son who has No. % will readily eX-
change" With this in view, they
started out last evening, and upon ar
rival at the opera house found No. %
already occupied. The owner was an
early conner. But, contrary to their eX-
pectations, no amount of polite persua-
sion could induce the occupant to move.
The smile of beauty and the threats of
brute force alike had no effect, and our
two friends took their separate seats
with a final helpless protest. The Oc
cHpant of No. % did not move once dur
ing the performance, nor go out be-
tween the acts, and, strange to relate,
when the audience filed out and the
house was left dark and silent, No. 23
was still occupied. Drunk? Oh, no.
1t is always occupied by-a post.

IT IS TOLD
of quartet of fashionably ambitious,
but not rich girls, who happen to be all
of size. that they have a secret COM
pact for the interchange of costumes,
wholly or in part. Thus they multiply
their apparent tOilettes. This recalls
device of two ingenious women. In
masked ball there is nothing more
striking or conspicuous than costumes
made of two colOrs, dividing the person
up and dOwn-a domino made of white
and black satin, One-half entirely white
and One-half entirely black, with mask
divided the same way, and with a white
glove and white slipper on one side, a
black boot and glove on the other. Two
women going to a masquerade had
consultation as to costumes. One had
black outfit complete, and the other a
white one. 1--WE worn my white satin
domino to one ball this year," said
Maria. "I'd like a change"
(which is easily effected" said the
friend. ''Give me the scissors" She
proceeded to rip the domino straight up
the back, part the capeS, split the hoods
and then put the black and white por-
tons together. A black satin and white
satin mask was divided, and the odd
halves stitched together. They whacked
up two pairs of black and white boots,
did the same with two pairs of gloves,
black and white; and of all the striking
costumes at the ball, that pair of ladies
had the most conspicuous and clever.
This jester costume, half-and-half
sort of thing, is being pIacticed to some
extent in parlOrS, so far as stockings are
concerned. In Sp0rtive mind at a pri
vate dance in Fifth avenue the other
night all the girls waltZed in mis-
matched hosiery. No ankle matched its
mate in color, and during the whirls it
was hard TO tell whose feet were whose.

they went into correspondence with
chappies very recklessly.
The girls managed their correspond
ence through private letter StOre-a
cigar store with letter-bOXes in it-and
through the ladies' window of the near

they mailed when out with their teach
erS in the street-lamp boxes. The street
flirtations, though much discussed
and enjoyed, were the most limo
cent of their paStimeS, since there was
no opportunity to pursue them further
than the waving of handkerchiefs, the
encouraging smiles, and the Oglings
that they exchanged with the men they
met. Occasionally the teacher dropped
from the head to the foot. down the line
of prOmenaderS, walking in couples,
but her only care was is make sure that
the young ladies' were talking
French, it being the rule that no other
language should be employed anywhere
else than in their class rooms and bed
rooms.
THE LEADING SPIRITS

girls who were not willing to go the
whole lengths of the rest were power
less when once they were admitted to
the nightly pranks. To back out would
have been considered weakness, and to
betray the others would be deemed
treachery meaner than any child
in the atmosphere of the school
would descend to. This girl
who fed to her parents was one of those
who detested the company she was in,
but had not the moral courage to rise
above its demoraliZing influence. In
her opinion the majority of the other
girls feltnO computations of conscience,
and were enjoying their experience
hugely. And yet nine in ten of them
would have known nothing of depravity
had they not gone to that school. 1t is a
QUESTION to submit to the gentler sex eX-
clusively, and not at all to the men (who
never know anything about wOmen)

susceptible to evil and the least fit to be

face of the clustered cells of the Car
melites, and the wall is built about their
garden. And this is the only Carmelite
convent in America. In Spain, in
France, in Italy, there are others, but
not on this continent. The order has
existed here MOntreaD since 1875
only. The money to establish it was
given by Nine. Fremont, of Quebec, and
the French Carmelite fondatrice, who
came from Paris, is dead now. So are
all of her sisters except three. The Sc
verify Of their lives in our rigorous eli
mate killed them. There are fifteen
now clustered here, but twelve are
Frencn-Canadians
You know, of course, what it means
to take the vows of Carmelite. 1t
means the most literal announcement of
the world possible to human being. The
face of the Carmelite nun is never seen
after her entrance except by her imme-
diate relatives, and then only for half
an hour once month, through heavy
gratings. Her hand is never touched
save by her sisters. From behind the
little door that is barred upon her on the
day of parting with our pleasant world
she never comes again. Her cell is of
the bareSt: she sleeps on a mattress
with one cOverlet. Her diet is of the
poorest, and meat never enters it. Her
habit is of coarse brown cloth, with
veil of similar color and kind, and she
wears sandals on her feet. Her Occupa-
ton is PRAYER and penance, and the
making of church decorations. She is
a ''favOrite SOUL"
We ring. and the sound reverberates
within, hollow and chill. A man
dressed like those of the convent Oppo-
site opens the door, and, after a whis-
pered conference with our French
friend, admits us. The hall we stand
in is narrow, cold and ill-ventilated,
and we Shiver as we pass along to
small, bare room with an opening in the
wall about four feet square, From the
iron bars which guard it project spikes
half a foot long. On the other side of
the opening is another barred network.
and behind that hangs a black veil.
The room is in semi-darkness, but we
can road above the spikes and bars the
words.

ing places that will shame many now
famous resorts when they come to be
developed. 1t will not be without a
pang that the Gothamites will see the
score Of picturesque little fishing club
headquarters disappear from this beach,
for they are among the most unique and
poetical outgrowths of metropolitan
life; their room will be worth more than
their company as the old saying goes,
in time now not far away. Very quaint
little club-houses are these. They are
former cottages or farm-houses that have
been leased or bought by small associa-
tons, mainly of workingmen, who have
fitted their upper rooms with hunks so
as to accommodate great many sleepers
in very little room, and decked down
stairs with the choicest collections of
fishing rods upon which, as is often the
case, the owners have lavished more
money than they ever put out upon any
other objects or possessions. In front
of each house there is apt to be liberty
pole for displaying the colors of the club
and in front of that little cluster of
sail and rowboats. Here the members
spend their vacations and their SUNDAYS

Cupid's SoIace for Jealous Mexicanos-

The duenna system relgiously prevails
here in good society, and not even novias
engaged couples) are trusted for one mo-
ment alone together. But the mischievous
god who laughs at locksmiths has many
ways of, outwitting the duennas. For in
stance, when there is what is called bale de
compadres, the young folk generally man
9uvre to secure partners in their minds.
These peculiar informal balls must be strictly
private, including the most intimate friends,
with never a stranger or "black sheep
among them. 1t is customary to write the
placed in a vase. Then child or blind
folded person carries this to each gentleman,
and in his presence draws forth card and
gives it to him, The guest reads aloud the
name upon it. and is therefore obliged to pay
his respects exclusively during the evening
to that particular lady; he must dance with
her all the time; comfort her with apples
according to Solomon, or with other refresh
ments, and obey all her behests, as dutiful
cavalier should. Of course this is perfect
bonanza to those lovers who happen to be
assigned according to their wishes; but how
narrowing to those jealous Mexlcanos when
mismating takes place! Since it is never
safe to trust too much to chance in this
weary world, the young ladies, aided and
abetted by their own true knights, have con.
trived many cunning plans. The hostess of
the bale de confiansa is taken into confidence
and instructed with infinite pains. She pre-
pares favors, as for a german, with CORE
spending rosettes, flowers or knots of ribbon,
and while cleverly pretending that the dis
by herself-is all ''luck or
chance" manages to give the same color or
device to those who wish to be compadres or
ompanions.-Nericdn Letter..

utes' sailing distance from the Battery
and having next built double-tracked
railroad along the edge of either side of

and carried the people by rail from the

His was like the touch of magician's
wand to that sleepy isle. 1t was like the
discovery of nearly sixty square miles of
room for growth to crowded New York.
New houses are springing up all over the
island, factories are building there, sum-
mer resorts are coming into prominence
there after having languished half CEN
fury, and the two new pleasure grounds
that Mr.. Winan has established are daily
visited by crowds that make the island a
formidable rival of more distant and
unhandy Coney Island. Coney Island is
bare sand reef; this is luxuriant hill
of farmland, forest, dell and meadow.
Erastina was revelation to the city
folks, who had never dreamed of being
able to attend a circus under an awning
and amid grove of forest trees. ST.
George was an equal novelty and delight,
for here athletic sports were witnessed
for the first time at a waterside place, only
few minutes from the heart of town and
in the care of a company that spared no
expense to surround the spectators with
all the comforts obtainable in a theatre
even while they were in the open air and
surrounded on two sides by the moving
panorama of life and commerce and
scenic beauty of the grandest and most
picturesque harbor on the continent
This year the presentation of the Fall
of Babylon" has added to this al fresco
amphitheatre the still more novel char
acter of an out-of-door playhouse, bril-
liantly lighted by electric lamps, arched
by the starlit sky and famed by the
oceans breezes. The green sward of the
background is surrounded on three sides

cheaper seats, while the fourth side is

absorb their attention, and so the island
remained forbidden ground to all except
those to whom time in getting to and fro
was no object. Ferryboats ran in the old
fashioned way on either side of the island
during the day and early evening, and
the place was always more dead than
alive. Mr.. Wiman, Canadian, but
man whose restless energy makes him
seem to out Yankee the Yankees, saw the
immense advantages that could be taken
of locality so close to the metropolis
and so rich in room for cheap homes, for
elegant villa plots, for factory sites and
for pleasure grounds for the masses. The
island is sixteen miles long by eight
miles wide, and is shaped like leaf. He
established ferry house at the point Of
it nearest New York-only fifteen min
